Member Howard Van Deest, Jr. Passes

My father was part of the UAW 788 in Orlando for many years. Even volunteering after retirement.  I wanted to share his passing on 9/11/2025...sending his obituary link if anyone would please share this information with his local. He was so proud of this union and his work in it. I am sure he touched some that would want to hear of his passing. We are okay if you want to share his obituary or news of passing on-line or social media. If you have any questions, please let me know.
